Focused on the essentials

The Arturia MiniFuse 4 is a four-channel USB audio interface that immediately gives users everything they need to get started in the world of home recording at an affordable price. At the same time, Arturia has refrained from including a ton of features that would largely be superfluous in the home studio, choosing instead to focus on delivering an impressive sound thanks to its high-quality converters. Its streamlined and intuitive operation makes the MiniFuse 4 a proverbial "plug and play" interface, which also comes with an extensive software package including DAW, plugins, and more, so users can get started right away without needing to worry about any additional investments. Thanks to its state-of-the-art high-speed USB-C connection, the MiniFuse 4 is more than ready for the future.

Everything needed

The MiniFuse 4 features two modern XLR/TRS combo inputs on the front panel for connecting microphones or line-level signal sources such as guitars, while the back panel offers two additional line-in sockets. Users can activate the 48V phantom power for condenser microphones at the push of a button, and channels 1 and 2 each have a dedicated gain control for adjusting the input sensitivity. A six-LED indicator for each of the four channels also helps the user keep an eye on the gain levels and avoid going "into the red". The output volume is in turn adjusted using the large central rotary knob, while the switchable Direct Monitoring function prevents unwanted latencies during recording sessions by tapping the signal before it enters the computer. The front panel is completed by two 6.3mm jack outputs, with stereo outputs for monitor speakers, MIDI in/out, and three USB sockets (types A and C) on the rear panel rounding off the overall package.

For single-player home-recording

The Arturia MiniFuse 4 is primarily aimed at anyone seeking to take their first steps in the world of home recording. Pretty much everyone dreams of recording music, writing their own songs, or exploring the world of sound experimentation in their own home, but the technical challenges involved here can be daunting. This is exactly where the Arturia MiniFuse 4 comes into play, and provides the perfect solution with its "no nonsense" approach. However, the MiniFuse 4 will also find favour among home recording veterans looking for straightforward and intuitive interface operation. With its four channels, it will appeal to anyone who can manage with a maximum of two microphones but also wants to record additional signal sources simultaneously.

About Arturia

Arturia's success story began with software emulations of well-known analogue synthesizers such as the Moog Minimoog, Sequential Prophet-5, and Oberheim SEM. The popular software instruments included in the V Collection are still flagship products of the French developer today. Over time, Arturia has gradually expanded its range and now also offers a host of hardware devices, ranging from synthesizers and keyboard controllers to sequencers. Since then, the former software developer has thus also become a household name in the world of analogue synthesizers and other equipment.

The complete package

To get started immediately after unboxing the new audio interface, all that is needed is the corresponding software which, practically, is already included in the Arturia MiniFuse 4 package. The renowned Ableton Live Lite DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) forms the centrepiece here, complemented by an Analog Lab virtual synthesizer, which is a lot of fun to work with from the start. Guitarists and bassists will enjoy the Guitar Rig 6 LE plugin by Native Instruments, which comes with plenty of amp and cab simulations and eliminates the need for a miked amplifier. And those seeking to tweak their vocal takes a tad will benefit from the included Auto Tune plugin. For putting those finishing touches on a mix or a sound experiment, Arturia also provides an extensive effects library into the bargain.

It looks nice and works well! In my opinion a direct monitoring option is missing (you can do it but you have to enable that from the software, there's no dedicated knob..)

Bemerkenswerte Klangqualität
Laurenz1971 29.07.2023
Es gibt - gefühlt(!) - zig Audio Interfaces auf dem Markt, die sich alle irgendwie und gegenseitig zu übertrumpfen scheinen. Man muss schon sehr genau hinsehen und in die Materie einsteigen, um die Unterschiede zwischen den Geräten der verschiedenen Hersteller wirklich zu verstehen - so jedenfalls mein Eindruck. Und ganz ehrlich: Eklatante Unterscheide zwischen ihnen sind nur schwer auszumachen, ob sie nun von Focusrite, Tascam, Steinberg oder sonst von wem sind.

Zumindest was die Geräte im Bereich des Home Recordings anbelangt.

Hier nun also das Arturia Mini Fuse 4.

In so manchem Testbericht wird die außerordentlich gute Klangqualität herausgehoben, und das kann ich an dieser Stelle voll und ganz bestätigen.

Ich habe das, was man im allgemeinen als HiFi High End Stereoanlage bezeichnet. Große Transmissionlines im Wohnzimmer, die von einer aberwitzig guten Endstufe aus England angetrieben werden. Solche Anlagen müssen mit exzellenten Musikproduktionen "gefüttert" werden, um ihre Stärken voll ausspielen zu können. Warum ich hierauf eingehe? Nun, dieses Arturia-Interface kann genau das produzieren: einen warmen, glasklaren und sehr körperlich-analog klingen Sound, welcher schon während des Live Recordings voll zur Geltung kommt. Als ich das Gerät das erste Mal nutzte, riss ich vor Erstaunen Augen und Ohren auf, als ich das hörte. Dieses positive Klangerlebnis zieht sich bei mir durch sämtliche Workflow-Schritte während der Produktion hindurch - bis hin zum Endmix. Und das Ergebnis macht dann auch auf verschiedenen Stereoanlagen richtig Spaß, selbst auf einem Küchenradio. Dafür machen wir unsere Musikproduktionen ja schließlich: damit sie im Wohnzimmer, im Auto oder wo auch immer gehört und geliebt werden können.

Von der Bedienung her ist es mehr oder weniger Standard, wobei die beiden Kopfhöreranschlüsse erwähnt werden sollten. Sie lassen ein gemeinsames Monitoring zu, was zweifellos von Vorteil ist. Gut gemacht! Die 48 V-Phantomspeisung ist ja schon Standard, ebenso die rückseitigen Elemente.
Die Verarbeitung ist wertig, wie das bei Arturia-Geräten ohnehin der Fall ist - auch bei den Keyboards, die wir auch auf der Live-Bühne einsetzen.
Da wir unsere Produktionen an mehreren Standorten einspielen und nicht nur im Proberaum, haben wir beschlossen, das MiniFuse zum Gegenstand unserer allgemeinen "Geschäftsausstattung" zu machen.

Ich selber verwende das MiniFuse zusammen mit Cubase und Dorico. Um es dort bekannt zu machen, muss man ein bisschen in den Dokumentationen "herumwühlen". Ich habe den Eindruck, dass Steinberg und Arturia erst jetzt so langsam aus ihrer gegenseitigen "Findungsphase" herauskommen. Aber es funktioniert tadellos.

Ich sage es mal so: Die fünf Sterne zur Bewertung reichen nicht aus, es müssten zehn sein.

SUPER PRODUIT !
ratatanka 2 06.01.2024
Incroyable d'avoir toutes ces caractéristiques et cette qualité pour ce prix! et c'est une marque française en plus!

Sachez que si voulez faire des concerts avec un carte son, il vous faudra 4 sorties , la Arturia minifuse 4 les a!
elle a un "hub" USB si jamais vous manquez de ports usb sur votre ordinateur... très bien pensé!

4 entrées , et une qualité bien plus élevée que la concurrence FONCEZ !

à un peu plus de 200 € franchement c'est du bonheur.

Oubliez les scarlett et autres interfaces, la minifuse 4 les ridiculise.
